Nursing as a profession requires a great deal of sacrifice. They see and experience other people’s pain and suffering on a daily basis. They make sure that every patient receives care and medical attention. They work hard and endure long hours of fatigue. Despite all this, they have to be strong not only for themselves but also for others. They provide hope and comfort to those afflicted while they struggle themselves.

Suffice to say, it’s hard to be a nurse. One must have not only skills and knowledge, but also patience, compassion, and dedication to serve others. That’s why with everything they have to give, nurses can feel exhausted, frustrated, and even neglected. During the toughest of days, they feel hopeless and powerless.

If today were one of the hardest days you’ve had to go through, here are inspiring nurses’ prayers that can help restore your spirits and determination. And for all nurses going through utmost exhaustion and despair, hang in there. Your selflessness and compassion make the world better than it was yesterday.

A Nursing Prayer for Acceptance and Peace

Most precious and loving God.
I pause in this moment, expressing my sadness and disbelief.
You O Lord gave me the gift of compassion, the skill and talent to minister, yet in this moment I feel the sadness and loss for the patient you allowed me to serve.
I pause in this moment and remember the subtle smile, the cheerful Hello and the whispers to thank you.
Be gracious O Lord.
Allow the loving moments to linger, the pain to flee and the blessed assurance that your comfort is more than enough for me and the family member who have walked this road.
I have given it my all and have shared in the healing process.
Strengthen as only you can for I need your guidance. Lead me o a brighter day.
For I have touched your love, shared your creation and I am grateful for the tears in my eyes that allowed me to see the rainbow of a life you have given.
Bless, I pray, this day. Amen.

A Prayer for Overwhelmed Nurses

Dear Father,
I’m coming to You today as a tiny child.
One who too often tries
to hold all of her belongings alone.
The burden is too large to bear…
My frail shoulders weaken with the weight
And my heart grows anxious.
You said we would have trouble in this world.
But You also said: Take heart;
I have overcome the world.
Would you help me remember
that You are the Overcomer
while I am the overwhelmed?
Would you give me the grace
to accept my own limitations
And the faith to accept your unlimited power?
Would you reveal your incredible love once again
that I might soak up its glory?
For it is when your love and power and glory
saturate my spirit
that I am revolutionized
from overwhelmed to overjoyed.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.

A Nurse’s Prayer for God’s Healing Presence

Jesus, you are the Healer
who calls all nurses to serve and to care for people in your name.
As we carry out this holy ministry, be with us,
bless us with the wisdom of your Holy Spirit
and fill us with the compassion
that allows us to put the needs of those we serve before all else.
In the midst of this highly technological and often impersonal age
Let us not forget that nursing is fundamentally about being with people in need.
It is about touch … a listening presence … a willing and compassionate heart
that sees beyond symptoms and signs of illness
to a person in need and to their community of concern.
Help us to embrace the charism that is nursing … to make it our own
and in so doing to bring your healing presence into the lives of people in need.
In your holy name we pray.
Amen.
